DOT Physicals in Manassas, VA

Book your DOT medical exam

Use our DOT appointment page or call (703) 361-4357 to confirm examiner availability. Tell the team your renewal deadline and whether your employer has requested additional services. Certification depends on the examiner's assessment; booking an exam does not guarantee a medical certificate.

What to bring

Your CDL or photo ID and current medical certificate, if you have one
A current medication list, including doses and prescribing clinicians
Glasses, contacts or hearing aids you use
Relevant medical records and any supporting information requested by the examiner
Employer authorization and instructions if the visit is arranged through work

Review our DOT visit preparation checklist and DOT physical guide. Ask the clinic which records apply to your circumstances.

During and after the exam

The medical examiner reviews your history and performs the examination needed to assess fitness for commercial driving. Additional documentation may be needed before a certification decision. Ask what follow-up is required and how to provide any missing records.

Supporting medical forms

If the examiner requests supporting records, our patient forms library includes DOT-related clearance and assessment forms. Use the form requested for your situation; downloading a form does not mean that every driver needs it. The FMCSA medical forms page provides official federal forms.

Employer testing and paperwork

Do not assume that an employer's testing order is included in a DOT physical. Confirm any drug or alcohol testing separately and bring the employer's instructions. Fleet managers can review our occupational health services before arranging employee visits.

Questions about dot physicals in Manassas

These answers cover common visit questions for patients, families, drivers, and employer clients. For personalized medical guidance, please call the clinic or book an appointment.

Does booking a DOT exam guarantee certification?

No. Certification depends on the medical examination and any supporting records the examiner needs. Ask about missing documentation and follow-up before leaving.

Should my employer arrange testing separately?

Confirm the exact services requested by your employer before the visit. Do not assume that a drug or alcohol testing order is included in the physical.

What should I bring to my DOT physical?

Bring a photo ID or CDL, your current medication list, and any medical paperwork related to blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, cardiac history, or other ongoing conditions.

Do you offer walk-in DOT physicals?

Call to confirm examiner availability before a walk-in DOT visit. You can also select a DOT appointment online; visit duration depends on the examination and any required records.

How long does a DOT physical take?

Most DOT visits are straightforward and move quickly, but timing can vary if additional medical records or specialist clearance are needed.

What disqualifies you from a DOT physical?

Certain uncontrolled medical conditions, unsafe medication effects, vision or hearing issues, high blood pressure, untreated sleep apnea, and missing clearance paperwork can delay or limit certification. The examiner reviews each case individually under FMCSA standards.

How often do I need a DOT physical?

Many qualified drivers receive certification for up to 24 months, but some medical conditions require shorter certification or follow-up documentation.

Do you accept FMCSA medical examiner cards?

Altmed performs DOT exams through FMCSA-certified medical examiners. Bring any employer forms or prior medical examiner card information to your visit.

How much does a DOT physical cost at Altmed?

Call (703) 361-4357 to confirm the current exam fee and whether any employer-requested services are separate.

Where can I get my DOT medical card in Manassas?

Altmed issues DOT medical cards (also called CDL medical certificates) on-site through FMCSA-certified medical examiners, with same-day availability for most drivers.

How do I renew my CDL medical card?

Renewing your DOT medical card requires a new FMCSA physical exam before your current certificate expires. Altmed can complete a renewal exam and reissue your medical card the same day for most drivers.

What a DOT physical includes

The goal of a DOT exam is to determine whether a commercial driver is medically qualified to operate safely. That means looking at vision, hearing, blood pressure, urinalysis, medical history, and any condition that may affect safe driving.

• Vision and hearing review

• Blood pressure, pulse, urinalysis, and general physical exam

• Medical history review with attention to documentation that may be needed for clearance

Come prepared and avoid unnecessary delays

Drivers often save time by arriving with medication lists, corrective lenses, and any supporting paperwork related to ongoing conditions. We focus on a smooth process because we know delays can affect routes, renewals, and work schedules.

• Bring your CDL or photo ID and any required medical documentation

• Have a current medication list available

• If you use corrective lenses or hearing devices, bring them to the exam
